... hotdog, which is eaten with both raw and fried (Asian-style dried) onions, remoulade, ketchup and pickles. It was fantastic and I'm really beginning to think I could have made this into a purely food-related blog... We arrived in Odense fairly late and walked, again through the rain, to meet Emil at the birth-house of Hans Christian Andersen. Emil and I rushed around this pretty awesome little museum. We were there for nearly an hour, but could easily have spent 2 leqrning about his ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.<br><br>The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due. <br><br>See more on www.bouchon-gourmand.blogspot.com

After popping into and out of Germany, we were now back in Belgium. It was beginning to get a bit dark, and we still had at least 200 miles left to drive.<br><br>Gaz's motor was struggling, and threatening to overheat, so we stopped to let it cool down.<br><br>With the vehicles all decorated with stickers, we attracted a bit of attention, and a Belgian couple took our ...

Once in Elsloo, we stopped to find postcards (having completely missed the observations again), only to find that the only card shop was closed that afternoon.<br><br>Up the road a bit, and Kieran was dropping a card into the door of a Landy enthusiast they had met on the recce. The guy turned up at that moment, and so we were invited in for a refreshing cold drink. The Landyprikkers overtook us at that point, and went on their way. We then ...

... grounds. One night last week, we had a dessert &amp; wine picnic in "Narnia," which is a nearby path with trees on either side that curve into each other rather unnaturally, creating a sort of roof over the path. This was a rather long update! If you've made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read it all! Next weekend we go to Paris -I'm very excited about this since I can sort of speak French. Love and miss you all!! Tot ziens, (Goodbye), Kelly

... like a big deal, especially being from South Dakota....but they have had us cooped up in this city for a month now, and being able to just run aimlessly in that field was sooooo amazing! I don't know if I have ever been that excited to see that much green grass in my life :) We had the perfect Sunday afternoon, and I hope it is not the last perfect Sunday we experience here. The girls and I are hoping we can wear our "Pablo" shirts many more times before we go home :)

... and Belgium. When we were at the Best Western Gary spoke in Dutch with the person behind the desk (although she could speak perfect English) - and as we walked out he told me how he forgot that they speak differently down there... one pronounced difference that even I caught was that the g's are pronounced differently. In the Dutch language, the g is normally pronounced ...

March 6 After getting out of the Lidl, I started hitching and luckely within 2 rides I was in the vicinity of Maastricht. I simply then walked to Maarten's place (HC: maarten73) where I would stay for the coming 2 nights. He also received the package of overload luguage I gave to Maikel when he left Warsaw after the Winter camp, so I could take it and bring it over to Brussels where all my stuffs are. We talked the ...

... amazement we saw that the sign on the black iron fence above the enclosure confirmed it was indeed a &#8216;Tasmaanse Buidelwolf&#8217;.<br> <br>Perhaps in a bid to prevent the Dutch caging us up like our presumed-extinct local friend, we decided to flee from the Netherlands entirely, though just for the rest of the day. After hiring bicycles we had barely pedalled our way out of the western edge of the town before ...

... natuurlijk een jaar lang niet zien. Ik vraag me nu al af hoe het gaat zijn als ik terugkom. Vooral naar studiekeuzes van vrienden, hoe mijn broers en zussen er gaan uitzien over een jaar, ...<br><br>Ik ben er dus volledig klaar voor. Koffer is gepakt (en ik hoop dat ik ook alles bij heb) en zit niet over de maximum limiet van het gewicht. Moet je ook kunnen: een jaar weggaan en maar 20 kg meenemen. Al zou ik het liefst met al mijn hebben en houden ...
